I Twitched!

I tried not to, I really did but after wrapping the presents, I twitched and bought my mum and dad one more gift each!

Anyone else need to confess or do you have better willpower?

Argh... me too! I came on here to start this exact thread.

I’ve just bought a bunch of books for my 9 year old after getting sucked in by the Amazon 2 for £7 promotion. He already has a number of books amongst his gifts.... but I figure you can never have too many (except that all the bookcases in the house - of which there are many - are already full, and many are double stacked!) I must not buy any more books...

... or anything else for that matter!

I bought two LED beanie hats for DDs on Thursday. And a mug for my brother.

HappyChristmasTreeRex · 13/12/2020 19:22

Me too, ordered dd something extra for her dolls, couldn't resist! In my defence it was on a good offer.

I twitched and bought exploding kittens from lidl today.

Daisy829 · 13/12/2020 20:45

I’ve twitched more than once. You’re not alone.

TokyoSushi · 13/12/2020 20:46

I just keep doing it, I need Christmas to come, goodness knows what I'll end up with this week!

I have planned my twitch! I have the morning off on Tuesday and need to get one a gift for DM so decided that was the perfect opportunity to twitch. Blush

PinkJam · 13/12/2020 20:53

I twitched on books as well! They’re easier to justify to myself than toys Grin

30not13 · 13/12/2020 20:57

Had a wee twitch too today and bought some gaming headphones for dd

Deereamer · 13/12/2020 21:29

Me too. Last night. Luckily I’ve got a day off this week so I can go to Argos to collect with telling DH Grin

Bogiesaremyonlyfriend · 13/12/2020 21:37

Damn it! I twitched too and bought the diagon ally lego set for dds!! They will be so surprised and will love it, theyve veen saving up for it since it came out!!

ChristmasCookies · 13/12/2020 21:38

Iv been twitching since September 😜

BangingOn · 13/12/2020 21:43

Three twitches from me this weekend, all for DS as I felt his present list was lacking... something. He now has Pokemon Go Monopoly, a Pikachu money box and a poseable Onyx fidget toy on order.

TheGremlinsAreComing · 13/12/2020 21:46

I've twitched a few times. I'm about to twitch again this week with books for DC Grin

Nutrigrainygoodness · 13/12/2020 21:52

I twitched this weekend and bought dd 2 more presents, would have been 3 but I gave her one yesterday.
She got calligraphy brush pens and coffee scented microwave heat packs in the shape of a doughnut and a takeaway coffee cup.

The one I gave her was a slush puppie freakshake milkshake gift set. She thoroughly enjoyed making and drinking that today.

PearlescentIridescent · 14/12/2020 07:25

Gosh I'm the same! It's easy to do too becausr mine are little and they have no big huge main present really (well that is debatable but nothing cost as much as a big main present).

I'd like to add some books and craft stuff and a Minecraft creeper watch each if I can get it all next weekend.

PearlescentIridescent · 14/12/2020 07:26

So far I have got a Jesse doll and an Elsa doll for my 5 year old.

Charlottejade89 · 14/12/2020 07:30

I twitched and got my dd a Disney princess doll and a crib for her baby. I justified it by saying the doll is from her new baby brother so he can "give it" to her whenever he arrives

MrsLebowski · 14/12/2020 07:35

I didn't know this had a name 😂 I did end up buying an extra present for my mum because we said we will send all the gifts by post then she decided to come over and do a socially distanced handover of her gifts to us.

Hohomerryxmas · 14/12/2020 07:41

Me! I promised myself I'd half the amount of gifts I got people this year, especially the DC, but alas its happened again 🤣

YorkieTheRabbit · 14/12/2020 09:03

Fellow twitcher Xmas Blush finished my shopping weeks ago, however I saw some charbonnel pink champagne truffles ( these are all mine Xmas Grin) but I spotted some of their chocolates that DP would like too. I’ve also got him some l’occitane shower gel. I’ve wrapped all stuff apart from his and I’m doing this today, once it’s under the tree, I won’t twitch, hopefully 🙏 fingers crossed 🤞

ritzbiscuits · 14/12/2020 09:23

I just spent £40 on a Japanese import Christmas Pokemon plush for my son! I will absolutely need to sit on my hands after that!

Welshgal85 · 14/12/2020 09:28

I bought DP two more presents yesterday, a jumper and some comfy slipper socks.

I’m also wondering whether I should send something to a few close friends aswell but it could just go on and on?

TheCrow · 14/12/2020 09:36

A few little twitches- DanTDM book for DD which was a bargain. I get paid on Friday though and I have to go into town so I'm a bit scared 😂 doing all my wrapping tomorrow so going to be able to see exactly how much I have and realise I really don't need anything else!

XiCi · 14/12/2020 09:54

Oh god me too. Went into city centre for the first time in ages yesterday and bought a few more presents. Sitting on my hands now till Xmas!
